Swarovski Bear Faceted Sculpture by Heinz Tabersthofer Nature Sculpture Grizzly

This grizzly bear comes from the "Rare Encounters" group by Swarovski. It was released in 2000 and retired in 2006. The bear is approximately 3 and 1/2 inches tall by about 3 inches wide. The designer Heinz Taberstshofer's design features clear facets that make up the body with molded crystal paws and head. This is a beautiful piece that shines and reflects rainbow colors throughout. There is a non visible flaw on the bottom right paw, you can feel a rough section but cannot see it. A great piece to a start or add to a Swarokski, bear or nature collection.
